He issued a brief message on Twitter.

”I am immensely grateful for all the support expressed to my family and myself.

#metoo can be a tool to lift society and I applaud that effort.

False allegations however undermine that good work.

The truth will come out.

Thank you to all.”

Brown resigned January 25th amid sexual misconduct allegations by two unidentified women.

The party will hold a week long leadership vote early next month with the winner announced March 10.
